XFX has not generated much official RDNA 4 noise, ahead of this Friday's special event. The long-term AMD board partner unveiled a pair of mysterious Radeon RX 9070 series cards at CES 2025, but no marketing/hype campaign was launched in the interim. VideoCardz and its insider networks have kept tabs on XFX activities; mostly from retail sources. Their latest report concentrates on custom Radeon RX 9070 XT options; claiming that a grand total of nine SKUs are destined for launch next month. Around mid-February, a Canadian e-tailer inadvertently published a comprehensive selection of unannounced XFX MERCURY, SWIFT, and QUICKSILVER models. Days later, the South Korean and Canadian branches of Amazon uploaded packaging imagery.

VideoCardz has gathered product renders and basic spec information from various retail leaks, as well as inside sources. They believe that XFX has (wisely) dropped its old/odd naming schemes—e.g.: SWFT and QICK—in favor of traditional spellings. The high-end MERCURY population count is (allegedly) four; consisting of two Magnetic Air variants, and two normal editions (sporting non-modular fans). Reportedly, an "M" tag adorns Magnetic Air model retail boxes (refer to images below)—VideoCardz believes that XFX's red-ringed fans indicate detachable functionality, but this color coding is only visible on the black version. As previously reported, XFX's upper-tier Radeon RX 9070 XT custom options are touted to sport the "greatest" factory-set overclock: 3.1 GHz. Press outlets have noted the presence of three 8-pin power connectors in leaked MERCURY renders.

XFX today launched its Radeon RX 7900 GRE graphics card. Although the custom-design card sticks with the company's RX 7000 series Speedster MERC board design, XFX did not assign a brand extension to this card. The card's styling appears identical to the RX 7800 XT Speedster QICK 319 Core Edition, a card it very likely shares most of its board design with. The RX 7900 GRE is based on a compact "Navi 31" package that's rumored to be pin-compatible with the "Navi 32," which is why most custom RX 7900 GRE cards appear to have board designs closer to their RX 7800 XT counterparts, than to custom RX 7900 XT cards.

The XFX RX 7900 GRE is 33.5 cm long, 13 cm tall, and is 3 slots thick. It features an aluminium fin-stack heatsink that appears identical to that of the RX 7800 XT QICK 319, ventilated by a trio of fans. XFX has given the RX 7900 GRE factory overclocked speeds of 2052 MHz Game clocks, compared to 1880 MHz reference Game clocks; while leaving the memory untouched at 18 Gbps. The card draws power from a pair of 8-pin PCIe power connectors. Display outputs include three DisplayPort 2.1 and one HDMI 2.1. The company didn't reveal pricing.

AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT went on sale today, at a starting price of $330. Designed for maxed out AAA gameplay at 1080p, this card can try its hands with 1440p gaming, at mid-thru-high settings; you can use features such as FSR 2, FSR 3 Frame Generation, the AMD Fluid Motion Frames feature that extends frame generation to any DirectX 11/12 game; as well as the HyperRX one-click performance enhancement that's part of the AMD Software control panel app. AMD had already maxed out all available shaders on the 6 nm "Navi 33" monolithic silicon, but has opted not to rope in the larger "Navi 32" chiplet GPU for the RX 7600 XT. Instead, it attempted to squeeze out the most performance possible from the "Navi 33," by dialing up clock speeds, power limits, and doubling the memory size.

You still get 32 compute units on the RX 7600 XT, which are worth 2,048 stream processors, 64 AI accelerators, 32 Ray accelerators, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, but the 128-bit GDDR6 memory bus now drives 16 GB of memory running at the same 18 Gbps speed, yielding 288 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU game clock has been increased to 2.47 GHz, up from 2.25 GHz on the RX 7600. The power limit has been increased from 165 W to 190 W on the RX 7600 XT; and implementing DisplayPort 2.1 has been made mandatory for board partners (they can't opt for the DisplayPort 1.4a like they could on the RX 7600). AMD claims that the 16 GB of video memory should come in handy for content creators, and those dabbling with generative AI.

We have three reviews of the Radeon RX 7600 XT for you today, so be sure to check them all out.

XFX has revealed its own Radeon RX 7800 XT and Radeon RX 7700 XT lineup, showing off a total of three SKUs. These include the Radeon RX 7800 XT QICK 319 Core Edition, the Radeon RX 7800 XT MERC 319 Black Edition, and the Radeon RX 7700 XT QICK 319 Black Edition. Interestingly, XFX is skipping AMD's reference design, and focusing on its own custom design for all models. The entire lineup is a part of XFX's Speedster series, with a clean design with "the sole purpose of maximizing airflow to improve cooling and performance."

Unfortunately, XFX has yet to disclose full specifications, so game and boost clocks are still listed as TBA for both the Radeon RX 7800 XT and the Radeon RX 7700 XT models. In terms of design, the XFX Radeon RX 7800 XT QICK features a triple-fan 2.5-slot design with 13 blades and a vented aluminium backplate. It also has a dual BIOS feature. The XFX Radeon RX 7800 XT MERC 319 Black Edition is listed to feature a 2.75-slot triple fan cooler with Vapor Chamber technology, a premium one-piece aluminium stamp cover, and a different and larger direct pass-through venting backplate. It will also feature dual BIOS and, according to specifications, a better dedicated 9-phase GPU VRM. The Radeon RX 7700 XT QICK 319 Black Edition is similar with a 2.5-slot triple fan cooler but has a slightly different design.
